We're Halfway There!

Passing the half-way mark on my term as your NVAR president, I’m so pleased by all of the ways that our members are continuing to deliver on our goals of increased engagement, professionalism – and fun!

There are so many opportunities to engage with your association, and one of the most significant is through volunteer leadership. Our nominating committee is just completing the candidate selection process for the 2020 Board of Directors elections, and on Sept. 11, all of us can – and definitely should – participate in the voting process. This is your association – make your voice heard!

This summer, the application period for other 2020 leadership opportunities will begin. Check out the many committees and advisory groups to see which ones could be a match for your interests and enthusiasm. Your engagement is what keeps our association going strong.

You may have heard about C2EX – an innovative NAR program to increase Realtor® professionalism. Now, more than ever, it’s so important for us to maintain our high Realtor® standards and prove the value that we bring to the process of buying and selling real estate. It’s a fun way to boost your Realtor® IQ, earn an impressive endorsement and maybe even win a prize!

As you page through this issue of RE+VIEW, I’m sure you’ll notice many of your colleagues having a great time while engaging with NVAR. Whether it’s mingling with legislators at our annual Legislative Reception, attending the NV/RPAC Night at the Ballpark, cruising the Potomac with the Young Professionals Network, volunteering with NVAR Cares, or learning about finance and our region’s economy – there is something for everyone!

I can’t wait to see what all of us can accomplish together during the rest of the year. Mark October 15 on your calendar, and plan to participate in our annual Convention & Trade Show. We’ve got exciting things in the works that you won’t want to miss.

As always, I value your input and feedback. Please keep in touch at president@nvar.com.
